Hi Cindy & Ed!Thanks so much for taking the time to enter your thoughts! You are absolutely right....we are going to thoroughly enjoy this, our second and last cruise with NCL in spite of the curve ball they are throwing. I wonder if they have any idea though how many potential cruisers are voting on this issue with their feet!It seems to me that NCL should have figured out that anyone with enough smarts to collect sufficient disposable income for cruise tickets would also be smart enough to see through such a self-serving rule immediately upon reading it. I also suspect that most adults have enough childishness left in them to resent being treated like children. >)On a personal level, we don't want a bottle "saved" for disembarkation since we don't drink at home and our liquor cabinet is hugely well stocked for guests already. Our abstinence at home is not due to problems with alcoholism but because most of our grandchildren live nearby and all of us live about 1/2 hour from any emergency help (hospital, police, fire etc.). We decided long ago to never be even one drink impaired because just about every problem that arises involves driving.I agree with you about buying a "cabin bottle" on board and would cheerfully pay an iflated price for same. I'd also use room service to order if I thought there was even a remote chance the drinks would arrive before we left for dinner or before we were sound asleep.Ah well, 'tis not a perfect world but it's the one we've got and aboard ship it's the best of the one we've got!Cheers!Hawk
